Gimmit

git commit but cuter ✨

What it does

Gimmit is nothing more than tiny little opinionated terminal prompt to hopefully make mundane commit messages a bit more joyful (or more meaningful, if you want).

You'd still use your regular git commands, you can just use gimmit instead of your everyday git commit.

See below 🌅

Gimmit demo

Opinionated? Whuuu? The emojis are curated by yours truly. There is a "Random" commit that selects from a pool of curated™ gimmit emojis 😘

How to install

Assuming you already have git cli installed on your machine and you've setup authentication etc. then you can simply install Gimmit globally via npm install -g gimmit or yarn global add gimmit.

Once installed, You can now simply type gimmit into a terminal window when you want to make a commit to your repo and just follow the prompts.

Custom configuration

Just make a .gimmitrc.json in your root directory.

You can pass in your own options for both commit flavors and the pool of emoji the random function selects from.

Note: The random option is always the first option even though you pass in your own set.

// .gimmitrc.json
{
  "options": [
    {
      "label": "Custom option",
      "emoji": "🦄"
    }
  ],
  "emojiPool": [
    "🐙",
    "🌻"
  ]
}

You can have fun with this! You can replace the emoji with anything: say, you want to have consistent "labeled" commits in your team, or just for yourself, then you can do something like:

// .gimmitrc.json
{
  "options": [
    {
      "label": "Visual Design",
      "emoji": "[VISUAL]"
    }, {
      "label": "Final final",
      "emoji": "[FINALFINALv3]",
    }
  ],
  "emojiPool": [
    "[I ATE BANANA]",
    "[GIMME BURGER]"
  ]
}

Have fun!
